The storm or cyclone which passed
through this county last Thursday after
noon did considerable damage. The top
of Saltwater bridge was carried of. At
this place Red River bridge WAS almost
demolished, the middle span and top be-
ing lifted off and set down in the river :;
the roof of Robt. Cummins' stable was
lifted and landed in the road, about fifty
feet distant, and he had considerable
fencing blown down. Several fruit trees
were blown down in town and other slight
damages sustained, but we are glad to
state that no one was injured.

inst after the storm of Thursday Ia

Just after the storm of Thursday last
some enterprising citizen conceived the
idea that if the news could be spread
that man WAS carried down with the
bridge it would cause the citizens to. dis
play the milk of humon kindness, and
in their efforts to rescue the man they
might save the bridge A hat was found,
and the news spreading rapidly, attract
ed many to the scene who worked with
a will, but too many Caught on to the
racket" and the plant of the hat did
not "pan OUT so we'll as was hoped.
The bridge remains in the river.

Contents Of til. rr.,on,. uun.,,.

For many years lave been devoured by
an intense and abiding curiosity to know
whata tramp carries in his bundle. You
may have noticed that no matter where you
meet tramp or under what circumstances,
be has bundle with him. 1t may be done
compactly up in Il newspaper or tightly
wrapped in Old and dirty rags; it may be two
feet square or no bigger than your fist, but il
is always bundle of some sort, and one ts
which be clings with the tenacity Of death
itself. have heard a number Of conjectures
hazardel as to its possible contents. Some
critics have maintained that it holds food and
others that it is q mere dummy, contrived to
impose upon credulous landlord at a half
dime lodging house. have read newspaper
stories of fortunes concealed in the tIamp's
bundle, and been told of Occa>io 8
when the bundle found in the possession Of
dead tramp contained family papers and
OCCUR ents to prove that the late unlamented
was person Of high birth and exalted con-
nections. But of my own knowledge l have
never been able to satisfy myself az to its
actual character, so that when was accosted
the other day by tramp with the usual bun
die and a plea for the price Of a nights lode-
ings, said to him:
Tell ME what Is in your bundle and I'll
give you dollar.'
"Honest:" said the tramp
assured him of it.
"You won't give mo away to living soul.r
II pledge you my word"
"Well, then,' said my tramp, in voice
full Of alcohol and mystery, u don't mind
telling you. It's my full dress suit, You see
